King George School Wins $100,000

On Monday, January 25, 2010, King George School was notified by the AVIVA Insurance Company’s Community Fund that it was selected as one of the grand prize winners of their Community Fund Contest. This contest was held across Canada and over 2000 entries vied for a piece of the $500,000 AVIVA put forward. The school’s project, to build a creative playground, was entered by Mrs. E. Barnett from our School Council Executive.

Thank you to the AVIVA Insurance Company and to all who supported this project entry. Your votes and efforts ensured our being placed into the finals. The judges had to evaluate 25 exceptional final entries and decide which were to receive funds. While all were worthy projects, King George School was one of those selected and was awarded $100,000. We will be moving forward to design our new playground to serve the students and community of King George School.

H1N1 Update

The Grand Erie DSB is taking precautions to minimize the spreading of germs this flu season. Each classroom will be receiving kleenex and foaming hand sanitizer. Kleenex and hand sanitizers are being delivered to classrooms throughout the school board during the month of October.

Experts agree that the H1N1 flu is coming but the impact of schools can be minimized if we all work together. Some tips for fighting the flu include...

1. Proper handwashing.

2. Coughing into your elbow.

3. Communication with home and school.
